HR and recruitment

The public HR services market in Belgium

Nursing shortages, school replacements, statutory recruitment, seasonal reinforcements in technical departments: Belgian institutions outsource their staffing needs on a large scale. Over the past twelve months nearly 2,180 HR contracts were published, by more than 830 contracting authorities.

Almost all of them run through a framework agreement: the authority selects a handful of agencies for three or four years, then orders as needs arise. Missing the initial call means waiting for the next renewal without placing a single temporary worker.

GPC Gov advantage

Why choose GPC Gov to monitor HR tenders?

The Belgian public sector is one of the country's largest buyers of temporary staffing, but it buys through frameworks: a few broad, multi-year windows a year, outside of which there is nothing to do. Missing a university hospital's or a large municipality's notice costs three years of placements.

GPC Gov alerts you the same day on the HR codes and gives you the award history so you know which expiry dates to prepare for. Restricted consultations, invisible elsewhere, are included too.

Frequently asked questions

What tenderers ask us

How many public HR contracts are published in Belgium each year?

2,282 recruitment, staffing and personnel service contracts over the past twelve months, issued by 834 institutions. The Belgian public sector is one of the country's largest buyers of temporary staffing, but it buys in waves rather than continuously.

Which institutions buy HR services?

Hospitals first, driven by the shortage of care staff, then municipalities and welfare centres, federal and regional bodies, police zones, schools and inter-municipal companies. Codes 79624 and 79625 target nursing and medical staff specifically.

Which CPV codes correspond to HR contracts?

The 796xx codes: 79600 for recruitment, 79610 for placement, 79620 for personnel supply, 79631 for payroll, 79632 for staff training, 79635 for assessment centres. Code 79632 covers training as seen from the HR department; training providers fall under division 80.

Why should you track framework expiry dates in HR?

Because market access opens only at those moments. The authority selects a handful of agencies for three or four years and then orders from them alone. Missing a large hospital's or an administration's notice means placing no temporary worker there until the next renewal.

Does part of the HR market stay off the official platforms?

Only 6%. The framework agreements that structure the sector almost always exceed the thresholds and are therefore published. Here the point of monitoring is not to uncover hidden contracts but to avoid missing a window that will not reopen for three years.
